installed, updated system, rebooted. Installed Standard notes from flatpak and instantly get an error. Tried notesnook and I also get errors. Tried changing Flatseal settings and nothing worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just installed and ran Standard Notes from the command line, and got a subset of the errors you got.

❯ flatpak run org.standardnotes.standardnotes

But, it runs okay. I haven’t make any FlatSeal changes.

Have you verified that this file exists?
Error reading store file Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open ‘/var/home/neo/.var/app/org.standardnotes.standardnotes/config/Standard Notes/user-preferences.json’

It was created for me when I first ran SN.

I also noticed this:

For what it’s worth, I’m also using Wayland, same version of Bluefin, but I’m using bluefin-dx-nvidia. My Intel video card drives my displays, and my Nvidia GPU crunches data. Maybe the open driver is causing some of the problem(s)?

Thanks for the reply. Not sure what the issue is. I also tried installing Notesnook via flatpack and same thing happened. Neither of those apps would open at all for me though. I guess we’ll see how things go from here on out as I install more apps.
